Mystery

My dear one, 

It is a rainy Monday afternoon, and I've had a luxuriously lazy start to the week after a whirlwind weekend. I have a little mystery that likely will never be solved, but has simultaneously lifted my spirits and left me befuddled.

On Thursday afternoon I drove to work rather than walking. Upon leaving that evening, I discovered a note stuck under my windshield wiper:

Friend,

Be strong in the Lord and don't you give up hope! You are His creation, and He has a specific plan for you. And you can bet that he will be faithful to carry His will out. Even in the times you don't believe, lack faith and have doubt, He is still carrying you and holding you close. Take heart my friend. Stay strong!

~Little ol' Me =)

As I sat there in my car brushing the tears from my cheek, I was sure that it had been left by my sweet friend who is one of the few who understand what I'm going through, as she was in my shoes for several years. But when I asked her about it yesterday, alas, she knew nothing. So I'm left wondering whether it was a generic note that someone was sticking on random cars (I saw none in the vicinity), or whether it was someone who knew my car and truly meant the sentiment for me personally. Whichever the case may be, the Lord knew I needed that encouragement.

Meanwhile, that little mystery prompted me to write an anonymous note of my own, including with it a Starbucks gift card. I smile to think of its recipient's certain befuddlement. If I could, I would send you such a note. Wouldn't it be exciting to have a secret admirer? My dear one, keep smiling - you never know who's falling in love with your smile. And perhaps I'll commit another random act of kindness today - and pray that it is somehow perpetuated until it finds its way to you.

Yours even now,
Me
